Press Release: Paint Second Life Purple

The
2016 Relay For Life of Second Life campaign is kicking off on
March 6th 2016 and to prepare for this the Relay For Life
volunteers will be painting the Second Life Grid Purple. This
is a community effort to raise awareness throughout Second
Life about Relay For Life and you are invited to join us on
February 28, 2016 from 1 - 6 pm SLT for our kick off party!

Since
2004, Relay For Life has been growing through the virtual
worlds and raising money for the American Cancer Society. In
the past 12 years, this signature fundraiser has raised over
2.5 million USD leading to assistance globally in funding
programs and global partnerships in the fight against cancer.

The
announcement to the Second Life grid that Relay For Life is
about to start comes from the launch of our Paint SL Purple
campaign that begins on February 28th. Sims, businesses,
communities and a flood of volunteers will celebrate the power
of HOPE by turning the entire grid purple for 7 days. This
will be a good opportunity to visit with new survivors,
caregivers, volunteers and other who might not know about our
mission and get the excitement of our journey in the forefront
of the minds of all of Second Life.

Mark
your calendar for Feb.28th and come out in your purple to join
our fight!
